No Clowning Around….

Only 2 more weeks of school! Boy it has been a long year. With all the snow days and no spring break, I am ready just to kick back and relax! I am doing a simple clay project with some of the 2nd graders and wrapping up passing back all the students artwork. The walls are sooo bare, but I have to take the work down so the kids and enjoy it at home.

These fun clowns were created by 2nd grade students. (2- 40 minute classes.)
1. Students traced a circle for the face, then we discussed all different types of shapes to add for our features on our faces.
2. Students then added the shirts. hair and hats.
3. Markers were used to color in designs and a sharpie was used to outline.

Painted Paper Art

I have been teaching elementary art for 20 years in Ohio. I love my job and watching my 750 students enjoy the process of creating. I love incorporating children's literature with art lessons, and anything to do with fun, colorful art. I am a mom to two lovable kids. I love to see fun projects and mix it up to create a new project. If you do post about a project please reference back to my blog. It is great getting comments and feedback to pass along to my students. Thanks for checking it out!
Enjoy, Laura
